Hayden enjoyed T-ball and his time with all this sweet kids. We had so much fun watching Hayden and his team play. Cant wait till next years games.

Heart cookies

We took a break from school work to decorate heart cookies. Wal-Mart had these cookie kits on sale for .99 cents right after Valentines Day, don't be grossed out this picture was taken in February well before expiration date.

Monster Maddness

Our 3rd time at Lowe's Build and Grow, the kids are being coming experts with a hammer.

 

 

The finished product is El Toro Loco, monster truck.

Build and Grow at Lowes

 

On Valentines day we went to our first Lowes Build and Grow. The kids loved it, hamming, following instruction and a finish product. All very happy with their work. We went for a 2nd time two weeks later and they built a monster truck. Tomorrow we will go a 3rd time, it is a nice free active on a Saturday morning. Hopefully I will get a picture tomorrow.

Hayden is 6!!!!!!

Hayden: all boy, full of energy, loving, full of dinosaur knowledge, creature loving, big imagination, gives the best hugs, story teller, Boy Scout, and donut lover.

school 2012-2013

This school year we had two Evans kids going to school at South Elementary.  Emma in 1st grade and Peyton in kindergarten. Hayden went to First Baptist Child Development Center We had three every excited kids, ready to start the school year off. Ready to learn, make new friends and play. 

Hayden's fist day was a breeze, no crying from Hayden when Robert and I dropped him, (mommy a little bit of crying as she was walking of the room). When we pick him he was full of smiles, so much to tell us. Hayden enjoyed his days at school, made friends, played hard every day, when weather was good he came home with shoe full of sand, pockets full of acorns, had to give a daily good bye hug to Ms. Darlene, learned to count, colors, shapes, songs. During the school year Hayden was sent home twice with notes saying he bitten a friend. Hayden loved his days at First Baptist and is ready for Pre-K. Hayden for just being a kid you rock!

Our Little Peyton starting kindergarten, boy was she ready. Peyton watched for a year as Emma went to school every day, getting on the bus, coming with so many stories, Peyton wanted to do the same. Fist day of school Peyton had no problem saying good bye, she was asking me (mommy) to leave. Peyton worked hard her kindergarten year, her speech improved, hand writing got better every day, sight words she flow through. Peyton made many friends, one friend we hard about every day was a little boy named John. Peyton received her Kindergarten Diploma May 16th 2012, along with Jump Rope Award for jumping rope 9 time and also the friendship award, Peyton's teacher,  Mrs. Morgan, said  "Peyton is always a good friend!" Peyton Jo, we are so proud of you. Peyton, you are one smart little girl!

Emma went in to 1st grade like a pro, ready for what ever the day would bring. Emma loved her 1st grade year, learning to read, writing made up stories, being books from home to reading aloud to the class, art class, challenging math problems. Emma ended the school on the A and B honor roll all 4 grading periods, received encouraging words from Ms. Brooks " Emma always does her best every day!" Awarded a certificate for creative writing, jump rope award for jumping rope 24 times, from the PTA high flyer award saying "Emma follows all the rules and loves to help any way and anyone that she can!" Emma you are a super star!

Last day of school, after Kindergarten graduation. Robert and I took the girls out to Red Robin and to watch Avengers (the movie).

School year 2012-2013 is fast approaching are kids are ready for the year, but is mommy and daddy ready...?

Emma walks in the room announces that she can speak Spanish.

Robert ask what can you say?

Emma says Yá'át'ééh, the Navajo word for hello.

Emma has over heard to many of her grandma Dina's phone calls.

Peyton in Sunday school class.

Sunday school teacher ask "who can say our verse".

Peyton raises her hand.

Sunday school teacher says," Peyton say our verse".

Peyton says, "our verse".

Sunday school teacher says again, "Peyton say our verse".

Peyton looking very serious and plain face, "our verse".

Emma, Peyton and I (mommy) on the couch saying our feet are cold daddy please get some socks, our feet our cold please get us some socks.

Hayden "I'll get the socks".

Hayden runs to the kitchen.

Hayden comes from the kitchen, yelling "I got the sauce", Holding a bottle of Texas Petes Hot sauce.

Hayden's Favorites at 3:
     T.V. Show - Dino Dan
     Book - The Gruffalo
     Movie - Astro Boy

Hayden is a ball full of energy, which makes being his parents never boring! It's so cool to watch him grow in to a little boy, if something heavy needs to be moved he is there to help, if something needs to be fixed he will grab the tools. He is already a protector to his sister.

moody moody moody

Hayden woke up from his nap in a grumpy mood and put himself in corner, I tried to get him out but he stayed there for about 30mins, so I took pictures.
